When I'm also editing my own writing and not writing anything new, I get a little down on myself. I like both sides of the process, but writing something new is always a little more satisfying.Tamara Eatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283452871290305849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850834701427655460.post-48896155723563262802012-10-07T16:27:32.905-04:002012-10-07T16:27:32.905-04:00I have been in edit mode for a long time. I have ...I have been in edit mode for a long time. I have twelve manuscripts to edit! For me, editing is almost as good as writing because I'm stilling working with the story-line I love, and the characters I love. However, if something takes me away from editing or writing for too long, (like marketing or, heaven forbid, cleaning) I get crabby. I need it. I feel anxious and unsettled if I'm away from it for too long. Weird, huh?M.J.

This is something I struggle with, being able to flex both those kinds of muscles at the same time.Miranda Liassonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393964846829467698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850834701427655460.post-11191957031128904242012-10-07T09:22:59.162-04:002012-10-07T09:22:59.162-04:00Editing isn't my favorite part of writing by a...Editing isn't my favorite part of writing by a long shot, it's the fear of not editing and the hot mess my editor might see if I didn't that drives me. Drafts are my favorite - the discovery of fresh characters, dialogue and figuring out the story is addictive! <br /><br />To balance, I use the fresh story as a carrot to finish edits - get 20 pages edited, get to play with character arcs for a bit...that kind of thing.<br /><br />Love the sound of your Civil War story!Kristina Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674920511835640874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850834701427655460.post-65998750520688268542012-10-07T09:11:33.091-04:002012-10-07T09:11:33.091-04:00I generally don't mind editing, I just release...I generally don't mind editing, I just released my first book and am working to polish its sequel. It's been so long since I've actually written, I'm definintely missing it.<br />Great post, Callie. Good points.<br />-R.T.
